Default Free BMW's and parfume for the Brits ~ 200 + more containers adrift

Oh, something to ask an expert. Look at the dent in the top of that

container.
Doesn't it look like the corner of another container got dropped on top of

it?
Maybe more than one fell off the ship and the one in the water got hit by

another
one dropping down on it???
And why do they float? Do they have waterproof gaskets on the doors?

Cheers,
Ellen

I do not claim first-hand knowledge but have heard that the test consists of
shutting someone in the empty container and if he cannot see daylight
anywhere the container is judged OK for use.

That's what the repair shops do to look for holes to patch.
